raidutil (asr)

[Don Brown]

Interestingly enough, I'm experiencing this same problem.  I have entered
the sym links (ln -s /dev/asr0 /dev/rdptr17):
 
/usr/local/bin/raidutil -L all
 
Which returns:
 
Engine connect failed: COMPATILITY number
osdIOrequest : File /dev/rdptr17 Could Not Be Opened
 
The sym link is gone after this.
 
The machine is a 5013AS-8 (Supermicro)
http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5013/SYS-5013S-8.cfm
 
and the Raid card is an Adaptec 2010S with 2x 73GB SCSI 320's
 
I installed this utility from it's port /usr/ports/sysutils/asr-utils/
 
Thoughts?

/dev/rdptr17 is a red herring.  The real error is the 'Engine connect
failed' message.  I'll look at it some more.  Until then, you can
revert to rev 1.59 of asr.c
